Violence, Rights and Inclusion Intern

This is a 3-month unpaid internship working with the Violence, Rights and Inclusion (VRI) portfolio at the International Center for Research on Women (ICRW). The intern will build knowledge about gender-based violence (GBV) and other topics the VRI portfolio focuses on, such as land and property rights and gender and development issues. She/he will gain increased understanding of academic and programmatic research evidence on these issues. The intern will be encouraged to join team meetings, attend events and contribute to projects that align with her/his interests.
